	<htmltext>This doesn't surprise me at all. This is what Geek Squad does. They convince you that you are unable to install anything yourself because you are not a "geek". Then they charge you out the wazoo for a service a child could figure out.

	<htmltext>And to be honest, I really, really think its 50/50<br> <br>

While in undergrad, I worked as a Dell Rep, so part of my job was to go into computer stores and see what the local competition offers in terms of deals.<br>
I would more often than not (75\% of the time) get a sales pitch covered in fairy dust claiming this Dell can do X,Y, and Z when I already know it cannot.<br>
I would also get pitches (maybe 75\% of the time as well) claiming that a Dell running Vista needs certain specs for whichever type of user I represented that day which fell into the gray area of lying/ignorance.<br> <br>
The point I am getting at is this only happened at BestBuy, not Circuit City, or Media Play, or any other store. They just presented the facts and from the pitches I heard, it was pretty obvious that they were coached to sell X amount of RAM for normal users, X++ for gamers, etc. These grouping categories were universal and similar everywhere EXCEPT at BestBuy, which is why I have a problem with Bestbuy. It wouldnt be inconceivable that BestBuy hires imbeciles for their computer department, but these imbeciles are being coached based on shady guidelines. And the really bad part was usually BestBuy offered the best price, so they really didnt need to BS the customer.</htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>This is even dumber than it sounds. Because, um, when the fuck did optical cables get 'lens'?</p><p>
To quote Wikipedia, a lens is 'an optical element which converges or diverges light'. If the end of your optical cable 'converges or diverges' light, it's <b>broken</b>. The end of an optical cable is supposed to <b>pass light unaltered</b>.</p><p>
It's like talking about the 'lens' of your bedroom window. That is not a lens, you dumbass. Because light is going straight through, which is exactly, definitively, what a lens is <b>not</b>.</p><p>
At least they're optical lens, instead of, I dunno, an electron lens, or a gravitational lens. Glad they clarified that.</p><p>
Likewise, how does <b>gold</b> connector protect the end 'better' from being scratched? Wouldn't, um, some sort of material that is actually <b>hard</b> do a better job?</p><p>
'Hey, that end piece is getting all scratched up, I better use one of the softest metals known to man to keep things away from it!'</p><p>
Luckily, it's only gold-<b>plated</b>. Although knowing their logic, it's probably gold-plated mercury, for additional uselessness. Or gold-plated caviar. Hey, it's expensive, it has to be good!</p><p>
Of course, this is meta-stupid, as the endpoint (not lens) of a TOSLINK is far enough inside the connector that you'd have to poke it with a paper-clip to scratch it anyway. Which gold would hardly protect against.</p><p>

<tokenext>This is even dumber than it sounds .
Because , um , when the fuck did optical cables get 'lens ' ?
To quote Wikipedia , a lens is 'an optical element which converges or diverges light' .
If the end of your optical cable 'converges or diverges ' light , it 's broken .
The end of an optical cable is supposed to pass light unaltered .
It 's like talking about the 'lens ' of your bedroom window .
That is not a lens , you dumbass .
Because light is going straight through , which is exactly , definitively , what a lens is not .
At least they 're optical lens , instead of , I dunno , an electron lens , or a gravitational lens .
Glad they clarified that .
Likewise , how does gold connector protect the end 'better ' from being scratched ?
Would n't , um , some sort of material that is actually hard do a better job ?
'Hey , that end piece is getting all scratched up , I better use one of the softest metals known to man to keep things away from it !

2-Windows updating, menu navigation improvement, quick launch and taskbar cleanup and program shortcut creation
3-Enable basic security functions, including antiphishing and pop-up blocking activation in Internet Explorer
4-Remove unwanted programs and trialware

<sentencetext>Read the article not just the blurb...."HD Guru called three Best Buy stores.
After confirming each employee received training on 3D TVs and installation services, we asked them to explain the process of  “syncing” the 3D glasses.
We received three different but oddly similar responses.Blue shirt one said the glasses need to be synced with the Blu-ray player.
The second geek referred to the 3D glasses needing to sync to the player via the USB port within the glasses, an impossible feat as there is no USB port on the glasses.
The third stated the need to acquire the glasses’ IP address to sync with the Blu-ray player.
There is no IP address for 3D glasses; they have no connectivity to the Internet or network.
The Samsung battery powered glasses “sync” to the 3D content wirelessly via an infra-red pulse emitted by the TV.
"Best Buy has a consistent record of the same issue.
How you choose to look at it is one of three things.
1. Their "experts" are worthless and don't know anything,  2.
They are intentional trying to defraud consumers, or 3, they assume consumers are all retarded and wouldn't understand something explained to them in clear English.
You can choose the one you want to believe.
One or all of them are true.</sentencetext>

	<htmltext>No, I think it was a deliberate attempt to mislead. Best Buy already offers installation services on devices they sell, and by Best Buys response pretty much states that is exactly what this, just under a different name. 3d TV's are new, but TV's in general are not. Honestly any idiot can install a TV and home theater in a box and more people are realizing this and as such Best Buy is probably worrying that they are going to have a harder and harder time selling the essentially free money installation services. So they rename an existing service to make it sound like they are doing something special, that a trained professional is required for, that is essential for the enjoyment of the TV.</htmltext>

Basicly "syncing the glasses" consists of inserting the batteries. The glasses do everything automaticly, end the end of the stories is the glasses are synchronized with the 3D picture. So if they put the batteries in (and everything works as its supposed to), they have fullfilled their promise.

Still $150 to hook up a tv, setup the channels and connecting a bluray player doesnt sound all that shocking to me. I asume it takes them an hour on average (including a short explaination to  the owner how to use his new setup)</htmltext>

To a large extent that's all correct I think, but there is still the more subtle hint that someone will have to 'sync' to get the whole thing working properly - and some people who might be comfortable plugging a TV into the power and HDMI cables might be persuaded to take the $150 installation because the 'sync' part looks a little more complicated, or that possibly they won't do it well enough to get the right results.

It doesn't have to be an outright lie to scare people into paying for it...</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Honestly, I don't. To me its funny because I know better. It reminds me of the "egress" trick PT Barnum played on customers, granted in his circumstance it was more to get people to leave an overcrowded museum. Honestly what ever happened to caveat emptor? Its an optional service. Do some damn research and for god sake don't pay for it. If you've done the research to get such high end equipment go the extra mile to see what is necessary to configure it. What ever happened to informed decision making? If I'm laying out that kind of cash you can be damn well sure that I'm going to know every single piece of equipment down to whether or not the individual ports are gold plated. Bravo Best Buy, while its scheister-iffic, I applaud your idiot tax.</htmltext>
